Had a pretty good weekend in all. Started with a viewing of the female version of the Odd Couple on stage west of Gettysburg together with some very pleasant company. That was followed by copious boozing with the aforementioned pleasant company and then a little bit of sleep.
The Irish Festival was grand. Good tunes, good beer, good food, good people, good weather, etc. The lads of the West Cork Flying Column were out in force and our pitiful attempts at a c1919 IRA impression were met with some approval. Looks like we’ve got a future as Irish partisans. Nifty. Wearing lightweight clothing with a bandolier and rifle beats all hell out of heavy woolens and 50 lbs of random equipment.
Nothing new in the news, people are killing and dying and it’s all basically being blown completely out of proportion. I don’t see how anyone can even write about the stuff, it’s the same old crap recycled over and over and there’s no point in attempting refutation – those who will believe it won’t be unconvinced and nobody else cares. We continue to win, they continue to lose. End of story.
